مزگینیا لوقای 27:18

We all know we should give, but our flesh doesn’t want to give. So in order to better live out a life of generosity in our lives, we need some inspiration from the Bible, and that is what this short plan on giving and generosity will do for you.

One way to understand what God wants to do through us by the power of the Holy Spirit is to take a closer look at what He did through Jesus’ disciples by the power of the same Holy Spirit. Take Peter, for instance, the first apostle to speak up at Pentecost. His life is a case study for the kind of radical transformation the Holy Spirit brings about in people who put their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation.  

We hope these five devotions from Eugene Peterson take your mind and heart wherever they may go, as you never know what the Spirit will use to encourage or challenge or comfort. You might choose to use the reflective questions at the end of each devotional to form your own prayer for the day—certainly not as an ending point but rather as a beginning for the arrivals that await you.

As Tammie Jo Shults discovered when she safely landed the severely crippled Southwest Flight 1380, all of the hard things you go through in life aren’t wasted—they have purpose. This 5-day devotional will help you explore how God uses the challenges in our lives to build us into the people He wants us to be, and prepare us for what He calls us to accomplish.
